The Aeotec Range Extender 6 does just what it says - extends the range of your Z-Wave system. It simply plugs into a standard wall socket (EU only), then it repeats and amplifies all Z-Wave signals in your system. It's ideal for extending your system's coverage or removing dead-spots around your home.

Aeotec Range Extender 6 is a high quality Z-Wave mesh network repeater and signal amplifier used to extend the range of communication between Z-Wave products in the same network. The repeater supports Z-Wave explorer frames which allows for network wide inclusion (nwi) and dynamic route discovery for other Z-Wave products that support explorer frames. With an unobtrusive small form factor, the repeater will not block the lower AC outlet (when plugged into the top outlet).

Note: This device only repeats the Z-Wave signal, it cannot be used to control a lamp or appliance.

Big on Impact and Small in Size

Range Extender is a power-outlet friendly device. It's been designed to be as small and as compact as possible, without compromising on performance, so that it doesn't block neighbouring power outlets.

Range Extender is compatible with all of your home's Z-Wave devices. Offering universal compatibility, it's able to repeat and amplify Z-Wave signals from both older and newer devices, including those powered by Gen5 and 500 series.

Gen5

Range Extender 6 is built upon Aeotec's leading Gen5 technology offering better performance for both secure and standard Z-Wave wireless signals.

Z-Wave Plus

Range Extender 6 also utilises the latest version of Z-Wave - Z-Wave Plus, and it is fully compatible with older models of Z-Wave products including 300 and 500 series.

Secure Signal

Because it's built upon Z-Wave Plus, Range Extender 6 can now use banking grade encryption to repeat signals to and from secure Z-Wave devices such as door locks and door controllers.

The improved wireless technology that features Range Extender 6 means that repeated signals are now amplified to a level that is an additional 2.5dBM stronger.

Signal Indicator

Range Extender 6 now includes an integrated signal strength indicator showing whether it is an area that it can improve or should be moved.

Z-Wave Plus

The Aeotec Range Extender 6 - EU is Z-Wave Plus Certified. Z-Wave Plus (5th Generation Z-Wave) offers a lot of new features including increased range, extended battery life and Over The Air upgrading (OTA). Take a look at our "What is Z-Wave Plus" guide for more information
